'A Showing of Films y Art Museum Bringing Seltes of Classic Films' of Silent Days to Salem Screen By Msxine Bares The very much revived Salem art association is doing it "again. .First the group made arrangements to buy the furniture from the his toric Bush home, and to use the house itself as a museum - &hen available. . Then the art association sponsored a series of well attended sket- thing and ceramics classes. It also sponsored an exhibit of art by Oregon modernists at Elfstrom Galleries. Now, with the financial help of a group of generous members, it will bring to Salem, a series of films from the Museums of Modern art in New York City. The series includes some of the classics of cinema, many of the era of the sil ent film. The pictures will be free, and are to be open to the public . . Costs are paid by several persons interested in bringing such films to Salem, with the hope that it will inspire a larger membership in the association. David Duniway, state archivist, is president of the Art association. Mrs. Donald Young is chairman of the committee arranging for the film showings, and her committee includes Mrs. George Kaye, Clif ford Gleason, Mrs. Norman Huff man and Chandler Brown. Let us humbly suggest that the descriptions of the films be stu died, and that those who find dis satisfaction (especially verbal) with certain types of art, remain at their own firesides during the showing of the films; This will en able those truly interested to find better seats in the small auditor ium. Unless, of course, these dis senters prefer to attend 'the bet ter to condemn." The following is a schedule of the films, which will be opened the first night -with art introduction by Thomas A. Colt, jr., who is the new director of the Portland Mu seum of Art. Mr. Colt served 13 years as director of the Virginia museum of art before coming to Portland. He is well known na tionally for his interest in modern films and the development of the film industry; he was a juror in the national Pepsi Cola art award- The' schedule includes: j January 20. 8 p. m..

Portland Orchestra Coming The Portland symphony is scheduled for a second Salem con cert on Tuesday, January 25, at the high school auditorium. There will be a final concert on March 1. Too much cannot be said for Werner Janssen's excellence as a conductor, nor too much credit given him for reorganizing the Portland group and turning it into a first rate orchestra in one short year. . Janssen has conducted every major symphony orchestra in Eu rope and nearly every top phil harmonic group in this country. In reward for his masterful in terpretation of Sibelius, the Fin nish government decorated him knight first class, Order of the Rose. The Romanian - borrf concert master. Tibor Zelig is considered one of Janssen's best 'finds." He has held memberships in the NBC and" Philadelphia orchestras be fore coming to Portland. Concert goers of Oregon bive for many years enjoyed watching: the genial tympanist, Joe Amatol of Astoria, who has played with the Portland orchestra since 1921.' He is also personal manager.

Might almost as well leave them up peimanently now. Southbound . . . Even the ducks and geese who usually migrate to the south, pre fer the chill air of oui Oregon winter to those snows of sunny California. Maybe they've been reading Florida newspapers again. Has been ... What has become of those people who. a few weeks ago, would open up their coat collars, pound their chettt and say "I just adore this cold weather." They're probably hovering around the stovo with a scarf around their necks and a code id the chest. . j More of same . . . The only good thing we've been able to figure out for this cold spell is that it's said to kill the bugs. So may all the cabbage bugs, potato bugs, root wok vil, earwigs, moths, silverfish, slugs and their relatives sneeze themselves into an early grave. ...

If Uncle takes 90 of your high bracket income it comes in pretty nice to be able to buy nice gifts at 10 cents on the dollar. Of course we do not suggest that you do but if you did buy a $100 item and you would have to give Uncle $90 of that money anyway if you did not spend it it would be pretty nice to get at $100 watch for Mary-Lou for only $10 of your own money wouldn't it. Regardless of how much your income is per year you must pay a tax and in that year you are allowed to take a certain percentage off for gifts. I don't know why I'm explaining all this to you. I sell the gifts to you and then I have to pay the tax to Uncle, he gets it either way but gee we sure have a lot of fun making him chase us all around the bushes to get it.
